Project Description:

The project is located at Statue of Liberty National Monument, Liberty Island, New York.

The construction magnitude is >$10 million.

The surrounding area is urban with limited staging located at Liberty Island.

The construction site is within 5 miles from nearest suppliers and lodging facilities.

The Park will remain open during construction, thus contract activities and logistics must be structured and scheduled to minimize visitor impact.

The site requires protective measures to ensure the surrounding area remains undisturbed.

The structure is a historic/cultural resource.

The anticipated period of performance of 731 calendar days including any potential weather shutdown.

Project Scope:

This project will rehabilitate exterior components of the Main Immigration Building on Ellis Island, including exterior window finishes, exterior re-pointing, replace deteriorated clerestory windows, replace failing skylights, and repair portions of the terra cotta roof. This project will completely replace all eight non-historic 1980s era clerestory windows that illuminate the Great Hall of the Main Immigration Building. The existing hardware will be removed and salvaged, if compatible with the new window systems.

This project eliminates health, safety, and liability risks by replacing the deteriorated window assemblies with new, safe window assemblies that are more wind and water resistant. This project helps maintain the visitor experience on Ellis Island. The successful completion of this pro ject will significantly reduce ongoing maintenance of the windows, saving staff time. This project will also replace the leaking skylight system and with a new, water-tight assembly. In addition to preventing water infiltration, the new system will include block ultraviolet light and provide appropriate thermal characteristics to ensure visitors comfort and protect museum resources. This project will also repoint the Exterior of the Main Immigration Building, including upper parts of the towers and the Clerestory. The park will treat granite surfaces to restore the building’s weather barrier and to ensure structural integrity of the stone veneer.

Continued deterioration of the building exterior may lead to spalling of brick material and stone components due to freeze-thaw, causing potential hazards of falling debris. This project will also repair and replace portions of the terra cotta roof which has sustained displaced tiles and damage to the plywood substrate. Secure anchoring of terra cotta roof tiles will eliminate potential safety concern with falling debris, and proper waterproofing will prevent further water infiltration and internal damage to structural components and finishes.
